Hi at all,

[sorry I'm not a kernel hacker and this is my first posting on this
mailing list.]

I have discovered a bug in file <KERNEL_DIR>/drivers/block/paride/paride.h

FrollinoResearch:/home/ntf/download/linux# make modules>/dev/null
In file included from paride.c:37:
paride.h:49: parse error before `wait_queue_head_t'
paride.h:49: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union
paride.h:54: parse error before `}'
paride.c: In function `pi_write_regr':
paride.c:52: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

[SNIP.....]

paride.c:392: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make[3]: *** [paride.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [_modinsubdir_paride] Error 2
make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_block] Error 2
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2

Solution is add to file:

<KERNEL_DIR>/drivers/block/paride/paride.h
or to file:
<KERNEL_DIR>/drivers/block/paride/paride.c

the header <KERNEL_DIR>/include/linux/wait.h

That contain definition of structure `wait_queue_head_t'

I'm not sure that function, but i haven't see problems in compilation.

Thanks to <ganz@keycomm.it> that have found a right header file with the
definition of the structure.

Ciao,
Emanuele
